High prevalence of venous thrombotic events in Cushing's syndrome: data from ERCUSYN and details in relation to surgery

CONCLUSION: Patients with CS have elevated risk of developing VTE for an extended period of time. From ERCUSYN cohort patients have higher risk for VTE if they need multiple surgeries to treat CS, are males and have high UFC values at the diagnosis of CS.Since there is no agreement on thromboprohpylaxis, a protocol for VTE prevention which is widely adopted appears to be necessary in patients with CS.PMID:38146835 | DOI:10.1093/ejendo/lvad176
